A friend is in search of a method to translate SPSS 'syntax' files to semantically equivalent R source code files.

I suppose, no one ever wrote a translator. But maybe I'm wrong.

PS: Please excuse the wrong use of 'syntax': People using SPSS tend to name an SPSS source program a 'syntax file' ;-)
